Dave Hollinger and I were at High Tor today. We opted for a fairly early start hoping that the crag would be in the shade.
We were able to climb the classic diagonal traverse line of 'Debauchery' E1 5b,5b; before the sun came round and the temperature went thermo-nuclear! Al and Guy braved the heat to do 'Delicatessen' E1 5c,5b,4c.
A quick change of plan resulted in a visit to Pic Tor which was shaded by trees, yielding the route 'Prognosis' E2 5c. This is well worth seeking out if you like well protected pocket pulling.
With high temperatures forecast tomorrow being out early in the morning or late in the evening is probably the best bet. Venues such as Staden Quarry, Willersley, Pic Tor, Stoney Middleton, etc are a good choice..
